Can you guys cite anywhere in this country (or the world for that matter) where trains have made a profit ?

I'm not trying to be snarky, but I have not heard of any, and if anyone is going to propose that trains (slow or fast) are a good business option, then I'd like to hear about a 'success story'
...or, just let them rest on the 'save the earth' laurels - thats really enough for me, but I'd feel better voting for it if I thought that it was a good financial decision.
